We don't want to make assumptions about Marlene. Are we making interpretations of her as to be from a superior position? Are we changing our interpretation to be in line with what we think is true, rather than what Churchill is representing?
Remember the structure of the text is fragmented. Since Act 3 is a flashback, can we consider Act 1 as envisioned by Marlene?
Are the characters just projections of Marlene's perspective? Or is it from the perspective of the dramatist (Churchill).
Gret is not actually Gret from the painting, but an assumed personality of Gret from an outside perspective (Either from Marlene or Churchill herself)

Multi-role-ing should be explained in every essay, to conventions of theatre and drama
